April 26-30

April 26 - Bought shares in AGL Resources. They announced EPS on the 27th and it was estimated they would be $1.52 per share. I also sold all of my shares in Raytheon Company and lost $300 after trying to profit on their earnings announcement.

April 27 - Sold my shares in Travelers Company and lost about $650.

April 28 - Sold my shares in Grupo Simec S A DE C V and lost over $1,300. The stock was very cheap and earnings were supposed to be very large in proportion. Bought shares in Oshkosh Corporation because their expected EPS announcement was supposed to be $2.62 per share. Bought shares in AstraZenica with an estimated EPS of $1.71 per share.

April 29 - Sold Oshkosh and lost over $1,500. Bought shares in Beasley Broadcast Group. Their estimated EPS announcement was unknown so I was taking a gamble. Instead of hanging onto the stock to see what would happen, I took my chances of going 100% cash for the last day of the stock market game. I sold of Beasley, Fastenal, AstraZenica, and AGL Resources, making profit on all of them, more so Fastenal than the rest.

April 30 - No action taken. Went all cash.
